Suggest some good reggae music, mon!

[Initech]

Preferably not named Marley or Toots, or Matisyahu for that matter.

Not that there's anything wrong with those artists, but I need some new shit, mon!

I've been listening to XM 101 lately and have been getting into Black Uhuru and Burning Spear, if that's any indication!

3. I just heard that Burning Spear song a couple minutes ago!

Great song, I need to pick up some of their stuff.

4. Their best album is "Marcus Garvey," but....

Up until 1984's 'Farover," he and his band were still making quality music. "Social Living," from 1980 is especially good.
